Watch Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate’s Top Developers Battle It Out

Now that Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is close to release, things have slowed down on the development side, and Team Ninja held an internal tournament as a relaxing break of sorts for their development team. Below is a match featuring GAKU (as Hitomi), in charge of game balance, and Shimbori (as Leifang), the director of DOA5U:

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is slated for release in September for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Tecmo Koei recently shared that the game will feature 231 costumes to unlock, among other new features.

I wish there was a fighting game with motion engine that combines DOA’s fluidity, Tekken’s impact, and VF’s physics.

and Clay Fighter’s graphics.

I’d rather have DOA’s Physics if you catch my drift

Kaitsu

Or we can defy gravity with Rival Schools.

Stop that.

You’re making me want things I know I can’t have.

Grand Style!

Can’t wait to play with old DoA’s OSTs, the lack of “good” music really bothered me in Dead or Alive 5.
I’m not saying they were BAD, but there wasn’t enough variety because you always had to listen to the SAME music on THIS stage.

lol I cant even do half the stuff these guys do and I suck at counters :/

did she just “gaw” after the upper cut?

Yeah, Hitomi got a new taunt.

She “Rawr”, like urban dictionary’s “RAWR! I am a lion, fear me!” ;-)

Not long now :).

To me this game success in two aspects Gameplay and Fanservice, but fails at so many DLC’s.

I agree. So much DLC is such a shame, and there’s more to come for 5 Ultimate.

They need to make money somehow though. The standard version is now so cheap that I don’t get it why people are complaining. In a way the “rich people/hardcore fans” that buy the DLC subsidize a better game for the future for everybody, so everyone wins.

… saw a couple of strange 2 piece/3 piece moves Hitomi had there and one of them kinda looked funny… like one of Brad’s moves.

… I love her Shouryuken though.

OMG!
They added a new taunt for hitomi saying GAO~

It’s more like “Rawr!” It is a reference to her scene with Eliot where she imitates a tiger to friendly scare him. =)

This is pretty great. Being able to see the director and the person in charge of game balance play each other.

My interest in DoA is renewed quite a bit thanks to their showmanship.
